Will the DLC Dems support Keynsian Solutions to the Economy? |
|
Or are they going to continue with their Milton Friedman worship?

1. I think if Friedman were alive, he'd realize we're pretty much out of monetary opitons |
|
that don't carry a huge risk of nuking the economy. Hopefully our DLC friends will realize that as well.

2. Yes but you have Republicans who still don't get it |
|
And I would guess Terry McAuliffe doesn't get it either

3. They Will Continue To Sodomize The Middle Class And The Poor |

Why the %^&* do we put up with them? It's like the Stockholm Syndrome at this point.

4. Does anyone think that the past 8 years haven't been Keynsian? |
|
It has been monitary in name only. But bush has been deficit spending like mad. (The national debt doubled, people!) A lot of money went to the defense and security industry which can't defend us or secure us.
More went to bankers and wall street frauds.

5. None of that was particularly Keynesian. Keynes didn't just say run deficits for the hell of it. |
|
There are ways of deficit spending that aren't productive and Bush found them.

Keynes suggested deficit spending with a purpose - not just making your buddies rich
